Show LOADS AT END OF GOOD ROAD Double Amount of Team Power Required Re-quired to Haul Wagons Over Unimproved Un-improved Country Highway. To see what happens at the end of tile good road, a public road specialist of the department of agriculture recently re-cently had observations made in different differ-ent sections of the country. Observers noted many country-bound teamsters who drove two loaded wagons, hitched one behind the other, to the end of the good road, where they left one wagon by the roadside to be returned for later while all the power of their teams was devoted to hauling a single wagon over the unimproved highway. Farmers bound for market frequently frequent-ly were seen to haul wood and similar products to the beginning of the good road, there dumping thera and returning return-ing for a second load. When this arrived, ar-rived, the two loads were consolidated and easily hauled by a single team the remaining distance to market over the improved road. |
